CCTV footage of car may reveal missing student clue
POLICE investigating the disappearance of student Libby Squire are examining CCTV footage that may show her getting into a car close to where she was last seen.
The film, which was captured on the night of Thursday Jan 31, around the time that Miss Squire went missing, shows a motorist parked at the side of the road – just yards from where she was sitting on a bench.
After several minutes the driver, who appears to be seated, rolling a cigarette, moves away from the car, before returning when another person is seen getting into the passenger side.
Police hope the footage can help unlock the mystery of what happened to the 21-year-old Hull University student, who disappeared following a night out.
Det Supt Matt Hutchinson said: “There have been hundreds of hours of CCTV footage viewed as part of our investigation. There are various lines of enquiry we have investigated and are following up in connection to CCTV footage.”
Yesterday, police were given more time to question a butcher in connection with the disappearance. Pawel Relowicz, a father of two, was arrested on suspicion of abduction on Wednesday.
Police have also stepped up the search of an area around the Oak Road playing fields, where a witness described hearing a woman screaming and a man running away late on Thursday Jan 31.
